Thank you for brightening my day! That is so deeply humorous, I'll
probably be chuckling halfway through the afternoon.

In almost ten years of writing structured documents with markup, I
have found exactly one structured editor that I could stand. That was
Arbortext's Epic and even with that product, I almost always edited in
"tags on" mode.

The notion that editing XML with a text editor is "unusual" is just
laughable. At least it makes me laugh.

Now, that said, I could take or leave CDATA sections. But it'd be
tedious and they're nearly harmless so why bother?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
